Chapter 212
Jiang Mixue brought foundation and lipstick.
The two women let down the long hair tied behind their heads, trying to cover part of their faces.
Jiang Mixue said, “Here. This is the palest shade of foundation. Put on plenty.”
Yun Youyou took it and squeezed some onto her hand.
The conditions were crude, so she smeared it directly over her face with her fingers as though plastering a wall.
After applying it for ages, Yun Youyou checked the mirror.
“Hiss… Why do I feel like I look exactly the same with it on?”
“Really?”
Jiang Mixue paused what she was doing and turned to look at Yun Youyou’s face.
“Now that you mention it, there really doesn’t seem to be any difference.”
It was all Yun Youyou’s fault for being too pale.
The deathly white foundation actually made her face look even more luminous and translucent.
Jiang Mixue examined herself in the mirror again.
Damn it!
Her face looked unnaturally white, and a great deal of powder had caked around her nose.
Jiang Mixue silently set down the mirror.
“Wait here. I’ll find you something even whiter.”
Yun Youyou was confused.
Was there a beauty store here too?
Jiang Mixue picked up an eyebrow razor, walked straight to a white wall, and began scraping off plaster dust.
Yun Youyou: ……
Making use of local materials really was the best!
In just a few strokes, Jiang Mixue scraped off a large pile of wall dust.
She mixed in some water and handed it to Yun Youyou.
“Just make do with this.”
By the time they finished their makeup, they were completely unrecognizable.
Their gaping red mouths and deathly pale faces looked partly eerie and partly ridiculous under the lights.
Yun Youyou looked down at the professional skirt suit she wore. “Do we need to change clothes?”
“Funds are limited.”
Jiang Mixue tossed the makeup into a cabinet. “We’ll call ourselves white-collar ghosts. It makes sense for us to dress professionally.”
The two secretly slipped outside the restrooms.
“I wonder whether anyone will come use the restroom later?”
Jiang Mixue was still worrying.
Yun Youyou brought over a yellow warning sign from the utility room.
It read: Restroom under repair. Please use another restroom.
“You’re so smart! Once Fu Yiming comes back, I’ll remove this.”
The two had already divided up their jobs.
Jiang Mixue stood by the window, constantly watching for Fu Yiming.
She waved at Yun Youyou.
“All right. Go inside.”
Yun Youyou nodded and instinctively walked into the women’s restroom.
“Hey! Wait!”
“Wrong one! You need to go into the men’s restroom.”
Jiang Mixue hurriedly shouted.
Yun Youyou quickly backed out.
She hesitated before going inside.
“There shouldn’t be anyone in there, right?”
Jiang Mixue said, “Probably not. If there is, use this.”
She tossed a silver object toward Yun Youyou.
Yun Youyou caught it and discovered that it was a fork.
She studied it in her hand and confirmed that it was an honest-to-goodness stainless steel fork.
“What do I need this for?”
“If you see something you shouldn’t, you have two choices.”
“What are they?”
“One, you can use this fork to stab your own eyes blind. Two, you can use it to stab someone else’s crown jewels.”
Yun Youyou: ……
Seeing a man’s private parts and then stabbing them with a fork seemed more than a little unreasonable.
“Oh! Fu Yiming’s back. Hurry inside!”
Catching sight of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye, Jiang Mixue raced back from the window and removed the warning sign.
“He’s back so soon.”
Yun Youyou sighed and hurried into the men’s restroom.
She looked at the fork in her hand and decided to bring it along after all.
Jiang Mixue hid in a corner, ready to turn off the lights as soon as Fu Yiming approached.
Yun Youyou poked half her head through the doorway and peered inside.
Fortunately, the men’s restroom was very clean and didn’t smell strange.
Yun Youyou casually examined its layout before crouching in a corner.
But half an hour passed, and Fu Yiming still hadn’t appeared.
A flash of insight struck Yun Youyou.
Oh no. They had been so focused on how to frighten him that they had completely overlooked one problem.
What if Fu Yiming didn’t need to use the restroom?
Wouldn’t tonight’s plan be a complete waste?
At that moment, Yun Youyou fervently hoped Fu Yiming was suffering from frequent, urgent, and incomplete urination.
Fortunately, heaven did not disappoint a determined ghost.
Buzz!
The Light Brain on Yun Youyou’s wrist vibrated.
Jiang Mixue: [The target is approaching.]
Wonderful. Their efforts hadn’t gone completely to waste.
Fu Yiming walked unhurriedly around the corridor corner.
Yun Youyou’s concentration was at its peak.
Just then, an eerie rush of wind sounded behind her.
Without hesitation, Yun Youyou twisted aside and dodged the attack.
A tongue at least fifteen feet long twisted and spun through the air. The soft, plump red flesh looked utterly disgusting.
Yun Youyou dodged it in revulsion.
The tongue belonged to a bizarre-looking monster.
Its head was as large as a basketball, but its body was very short. It looked rather human, just extremely ugly.
When Yun Youyou evaded its attack, the monster continued controlling its tongue, trying to coil it around her body.
“Heh, heh, heh… Human, come be my food!”
Talking with its tongue extended made its words slurred.
“Who told you I was human?”
Yun Youyou floated into the air and used the fork in her hand to stab three bloody holes into its tongue.
“Ah! Ow, ow, ow!”
The thick, fleshy tongue instantly recoiled.
The monster cradled its tongue in distress and blew on it.
Its beady eyes were full of accusation and resentment toward Yun Youyou.
“You aren’t human? Then why didn’t you say so earlier?!”
Yun Youyou laughed in anger.
“You never asked, did you?”
The monster said, “If I don’t ask, you don’t tell me?”
Yun Youyou gave it a textbook eye roll. “I’ll speak when I feel like it. None of your damn business.”
The monster was still nursing its tongue.
Seeing that Yun Youyou’s guard was down, it whipped its tongue forward at incredible speed.
The tongue was not only coated in slippery mucus, but reeked so badly that even a ghost would feel nauseated.
Yun Youyou was no longer the innocent rookie she once had been.
She waited for the right moment, then used the fork to stab an entire row of holes.
The monster rolled around in pain while persistently lashing its tongue at Yun Youyou.
This woman was infuriating!
It had to devour her!
Fu Yiming had nearly reached the restroom door, but Yun Youyou still hadn’t sent any response from inside.
Jiang Mixue hurriedly walked through the wall to see what was happening.
The moment she entered, something wet and slippery licked her face.
“What the fuck is this?!”
A bloodred tongue danced through the restroom while Yun Youyou flashed back and forth through the air.
Jiang Mixue touched her face. It was wet, slippery, and disgusting.
She quickly wiped it with her sleeve.
“What are you two doing? Playing a game where whoever gets caught has to French-kiss the other?”
Yun Youyou said, “…I am not French-kissing that giant tongue.”
